Inflation is surging yet the market is at all-time highs

Inflation has picked up significantly yet the market continues to hit all time highs. A really strong earnings season is a huge reason why. Nearly 95% of S&P companies have beaten their earnings and year over year eps growth is \~15%.

Guidance is also pretty positive among large caps in the S&P, with many (industrials, Tech, and Financials) raising guidance.

There's the classic saying that the market is not the economy and that appears especially true for the large caps in the S&P right now.

Btw, I put together a [deeper dive](https://flexreportfinapi.com/get-newsletter-insight?article_title=Earnings%20Season%20Deep%20Dive%20Excel%20-%202026-05-11), in case any one is interested.
